KANSAS CITY, Mo. — At the close of business on Sat., Dec. 4, the Kansas City, Missouri Post Office’s Wornall Station, located at 7964 Wornall Rd., will relocate its retail operations and more than 400 Post Office boxes to the newly renovated Waldo Station at 119 West Gregory Blvd.

“We’re pleased to offer enhanced retail services to our customers and Post Office box holders at the Waldo Post Office beginning Monday, December 6,” said Kansas City, MO Postmaster John Morgan. The Waldo Station is about a mile from the Wornall Station.

Local mail delivery won’t be affected by the move, and all PO box holders will keep their current box number and ZIP Code.

Effective Monday, Dec. 6, retail service hours at the Waldo Post Office Station will be:
8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.      Mon – Fri
8:30 a.m. – 12 noon  Saturday

The Waldo PO box section will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Automated Postal Center (APC), currently located at the Wornall Station, also will be moved to the Waldo Station. The Postal Service’s popular APCs provide easy access to postal products and services – similar to a bank ATM. Using a credit or debit card, the APC enables customers to:

• Buy self-adhesive postage stamps
